Price war between Flipkart and Letsbuy!

Last week both priced the Defy at 17k. Now 16K(Flipkart), 15.5K(Letsbuy). Also both reduced the Nexus S price to 19,999 from 25K :)

But I am on the verge of calling the latter Lets not Buy because they are yet to deliver my Defy bought on June 8! I went with Lets Buy because I got 1000 bucks discount coupon from @Chhanga. Yes thats the only reason. You may remember how highly I spoke of Flipkart when I bought C5. I felt I should have spent extra 1000 bucks for a better and reliable service with Flipkart.

It's true 3rd party courier handles the shipment but we, customer's don't care. Do we? The courier is Aramex. I haven't heard and probably won't want to again! The shipment status is updated upto June 12 only even as of now. Only once since Monday could I get through some mortal I can talk to on the support hotline.

Yes, I called during the stipulated "working hour". 

Update: Finally delivered at 8:15 PM June 16

Update: The Shipment Status at 06/16/2011 02:28 PM   is "Shipment Out for Delivery".  It came to Bangalore on Sunday, June 12. What took them so long?
Btw:  I got a phone call from Lets Buy following my tweet and this blog post. They have reactively responded. Thank you but I don't really have any reason to smile.
